Not as painful to sit through as I had been prepared for. Those interested in the development of left-wing film, or in 20th-century Latin American history, will find enough to hold their attention, although that attention might start to flag during the second half of the four-hour running time. Most others will probably find it tough going from the start.
Don't worry about the Japanese only; it's silent with no intertitles. It does help to read a bit about it before you watch it though to clarify the plot. Here, for example: http://www.midnighteye.com/features/silentfilm_pt1.shtml
I realize that comedy doesn't always translate well, but Soviets must have been pretty hard up for a laugh to make this neo-slapstick mess a national favorite.

This is apparently a lost animated pornographic film. It would be interesting to find out how the two people who checked it managed to see it.http://lostmedia.wikia.com/wiki/Black_Pudding_%281969_Pornographic_Animated_Short%29
